lightpanda-io/browser
Lightpanda: the headless browser designed for AI and automation
Built entirely from scratch in Zig rather than forking Chromium, it provides JavaScript execution and partial Web API support while exposing a Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) server compatible with Playwright, Puppeteer, and chromedp. The architecture prioritizes resource efficiency—consuming 16x less memory and executing 9x faster than Chrome—making it optimized for scaling AI agents, web scraping, and automation workflows.
